"Gentleman Prefer Blondes" [.]

[fiefoe]

After all the gloomy reads recently, it's nice to spend time with the sparkling Lorelei, who 'Dr. Froyd' said only needed to 'cultivate a few inhibitions and get some sleep'. Early on, 'Gerry says he has never seen a girl of my personal appearance with so many brains,' and in the end, one would tend to agree.

• I mean I always seem to think that when a girl really enjoys being with a gentleman, it puts her to quite a disadvantage and no real good can come of it.
• Because I always think that spending money is only just a habit and if you get a gentleman started on buying one dozen orchids at a time he really gets very good habits.
• But I really made Piggie feel quite good about his unaform because I told him I only felt fit to be with him in a diamond tiara.
• So now I have the diamond tiara and I have to admit that everything always turns out for the best. {Surely not even Candide could have put it better.}
• (Dorothy) really said she thought my brains were a miracle. I mean she said my brains reminded her of a radio because you listen to it for days and days and you get discouradged and just when you are getting ready to smash it, something comes out that is a masterpiece.
• Because a girl like I is really always on the verge of meeting gentlemen's mothers.
• Because nothing makes gentlemen get so definite as looking at nature when it is moonlight.
• So he was going to give me his class ring from Amherst College insted. So then I looked at him and looked at him, but I am to full of self controle to say anything at this stage of the game, so I said it was really very sweet of him to be so full of nothing but sentiment.
• By the time we were past Newark, Henry was crying himself, and it always makes me feel so tender hearted to listen to a gentleman cry that I finally forgave him.
